Features

• Less bottom rod design simplifies installation and lowers floor-level maintenance.
• Sized for doors 33 to 36 inches wide and up to 96 inches tall.

Functional Details

The storeroom function (12) means the outside lever is always locked and operated only by key, while the inside push rail always releases the latch for immediate egress. Pairing this with the less bottom rod arrangement maintains top-latch security without a lower rod and latch.

• Outside trim is locked at all times.
• Key retracts the latch for momentary access.
• Free egress at all times from the inside.

Arm Type Details

As a surface vertical rod device, the exit hardware uses a rail-mounted mechanism driving an upper vertical rod to the top latch. With the less bottom rod configuration, only the top latching point is engaged, reducing moving components near the floor while maintaining secure latching at the head of the door.

Included Components

Device ships with the exit rail chassis, upper vertical rod and top latch, ETB escutcheon lever trim, and a thermal pin for fire door compliance. The unit is supplied less cylinder and less bottom rod.
